Computational interaction: Modeling, optimization, machine learning

User Interfaces Research Group at Aalto University

The group investigates novel computational methods for design and adaptation of user interfaces. Application areas range from keyboards to menus, buttons, and web pages. Our research includes mathematical modelling of behavioral phenomena -- such as those involving perception, attention, learning, experience, and motor control -- as well as algorithmic methods like optimization and machine learning. Our work includes mathematical definition of design problems, modeling relevant phenomena, study of optimization methods, and evaluation with professional designers.
